A quick look at the list of remaining free agents reveals a number of solid right-handed relief options still available. As Smith points out, Friedman has been successful at acquiring relievers over the last several years, especially at finding unheralded arms who deliver big returns for Tampa.

Rodney and Peralta might not be the only Rays relievers bought back next season, as both J.P. Howell and Kyle Farnsworth are "still in the mix to return," writes Smith. Howell, the top southpaw reliever left on the market, has at least five other suitors. Farnworth has been targeted by the Brewers this winter, though Milwaukee may have completed its bullpen remodeling after agreeing to signMike Gonzalez.
